pure garbage. 800 bucks for something with such rudimentory features and a lcd screen taken straight from the first series of gameboys....

even the vintage cash register at the petrol station that i used to work at, has a more advanced lcd screen...

the price will drop.... and its got a metal case... rolands comparative samplers are still plastic in that range, and it probly isnt that unuserfriendly... i mean its a mpc....kinda. anyway i think its ok, could have put 16 pads on it... whoever thought that up should be shot and dragged off a canyon and eaten by wildlife. imma stick to my baby though.

I don't think it's worth it either and it's so small it doesn't have the ability to hold 8 outs.But it's good it's dropping cause now i can cop an xl and another 2k(had to sell mine)off ebay for dirt cheap.


Peace.
